Passover Campaign!

Dear Friend,

It’s been a rough year for Jews everywhere. But I have some good news for you...

We know how to stay strong through hard times. We can get through this! We are getting through this! It’s connection. Getting together. Loving each other. Telling our stories. Practicing our traditions - together.

You know that. That’s why I’m writing to you today.

SKIP TO DONATE

With Passover coming, and with many Jews here in the community feeling afraid, under attack, and alone... I’m asking you to do something important.

Will you join our Passover Campaign and help make Passover a reality for people here in our community who may otherwise miss it?

Your donation of $180 -- or maybe $360 -- will help make a place at our table for someone who needs a Seder to join.

You know the power of Passover: How it brings us together, remembering our past, looking toward our future. The delicious soup. The melt-in in-your-mouth brisket. We cry over the Maror and celebrate with the wine. Together we grow stronger and able to stand up to hard times.

In this time of rising anti-Semitism – when we can clearly see that there are people who hate us – our greatest strength is within and with each other.

That’s why it’s so urgent that you give today.

I sometimes wonder what it was like for our ancestors when G-d brought us out of Egypt. When despite the miracles and our newfound freedom, we were viciously attacked by the Amalekites, a neighboring people who wanted the Jews dead.

But we survived. Just like we’ve survived so many other enemies bent on wiping us from the face of the earth.

And we survived by standing together.

And that’s where you come in: Could you join the Passover Campaign and donate to help make Passover a reality for people here in the community who otherwise might miss it?

Passover doesn’t "just happen." It requires caring people, all doing their part. It needs people like YOU.

This year, it’s so important. Let me tell you about some people who need your help this year...

Jessica is in grad-school, far away from her family. She’s always been proud of her Jewish heritage, but now she finds herself surrounded by people who openly hate her. For who she is. She’s never faced this kind of thing before, and she’s facing it alone.

Nancy is elderly and lives alone. Passover has been a cornerstone of her life through all her long years ... but now, when she needs it more than ever, she might miss it completely this year.

These are some of the people you will reach with your donation to our Passover Campaign!

Chabad of Downtown is a place to share love, warmth, kindness and of course… crispy crunchy matzah and piping hot matzah ball soup.

We can’t do it without you. And the mitzvah you do by giving will bring you blessings for years to come.

Please send your gift today so we can make the proper preparations in time for Passover.

Thank you for your consideration and for reading.

Wishing you a Happy and Joyous Passover,

Rabbi Levi & Chani Druk
